Tokyo Cooking Class
Home made Ramen and Gyoza dumplings Cooking Class

Moira, Australia

We had a great time doing a ramen and gyoza cooking class with Hideki. Hideki met us at the station and as we walked to his apartment we got a taste of suburban Tokyo. It was fascinating to see inside a Japanese apartment.....it was very compact! The kitchen was galley-style but everything had its place and it worked! We learnt a lot about ramen and it was very oishi (Japanese for yummy!). I was a bit ham-fisted making the gyoza but we got there (also oishi). Everything was clean and fresh and super delicious. We learnt a lot about food and even more about Japanese culture. It was a terrific experience and ramen is now on the menu at our house!

Hideki is a great host! We learned the step by step of making ramen, with a personalised class full of good tips and the recipe so we can do it ourselves at home. We got a memorable experience and the ramen was so good! I 100% recommend. Thanks Hideki, you are awesome!

We had a wonderful time cooking ramen and gyoza with Hide. He met us on time at the station and then it was a short walk to his home. All the steps were very clearly explained and we took lots of notes and photos so we could try this back home in Australia. Thanks Hide for a great cooking class and delicious meal. We really enjoyed spending a few leisurely hours chatting with you and cooking together. Gary & Karen

Cooking ramen at home now feels doable! We learned a lot how to put together ramen in a quicker way or how you would marinate the flavors more deeply. He was very helpful in answering all my questions.

We had a great time with Hideki learning how to make authentic and delicious ramen from scratch! And dumplings! It was very easy to follow his instructions while cooking and he even gave us a recipe booklet so we can keep making awesome ramen at home, which was our main goal. Thanks Hide!

The cooking experience with Hide was incredible! From the beginning his communication was clear and easy to get to his apartment. Then he had an awesome guide book he created to walk us through the cooking process. The food was delicious and his company was even better! It’s very easy to see that Hide loves hosting people and teaching them how to cook, making the entire night enjoyable. I highly recommend learning how to make ramen/gyoza from Hide!

Hideki was a kind and fun host! We booked this for our anniversary and he bought us Prosecco. We can tell that he does this because it's fun for him. The ramen was superb and easy to make! The Chashu was especially tasty. I recommend this to everyone. ひできさんはけっこう優しくて楽しいかった。 記念日のためこのクラスを予約しました。ひできさんは私たちのためプロセコを買いました。ひできさんにとって楽しいので、クラスを教えていると思います。らーめんはすごく美味しくてかんたんでした。チャーシュー特にすごく美味しかった。皆さんにおすすめです！。

I was looking for a class to be able to cook homemade ramen when I move out of Japan, and Hideki was understanding and gave us good explanations and tips. He taught us chicken and miso based (kotteri/thick) soup and the taste was great without exaggeration.

we were given a cooking lesson as a gift from our friends (Natasha and Tania). Paul and I had a fantastic time. Hide is professional and interesting. It was nice to be in his apartment kitchen and seeing him in action in his own environment. The food was delicious and Hide's direction and inclusiveness made the whole experience memorable. We enjoyed our meal together at the end of the lesson and would love to do it again sometime. Would definitely recommend Hide's cooking lesson to others. Hide made us feel welcome and even though our goza construction was a mess it still tasted good. Thank you Hide, a lovely way to end 2019.

My daughter and I had an very warm experience learning how to cook Ramen hands-on with Hideki and his wife. I felt very welcomed in their apartment, we did every step of the recipe, and enjoyed a lunch together at the table. I totally recommend this course!

We had such a great experience with Hideki and his wife. They were such a pleasure to share the experience with. Hideki is very knowledgable, not just about Ramen and Gyoza, but he’s happy to share his experiences with other food and restaurants too. We explained how this course was a first step to a potential business venture back home and Hideki was all to kind in taking time to talk through the process and ingredients in detail. Highlight was sharing the food you had prepared with Hideki and his wife at their table. We would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to understand the cooking process behind Gyoza and Ramen! Yum!!

Wow!! Hideki blew my mind with his excellent ramen skills! He is a pro that is great at speaking English and super friendly too. He will teach you everything you want to know, and the food at the end is worth all the work!! Please book Hideki if you are in the Tokyo area and want an unique Japanese experience with a friendly teacher and new friend!

Hideki was the most amazing teacher and showed us how to make a real ramen and gyoza. Him and wife were so lovely and welcoming, my daughter and I felt like we were cooking with family. A must do while you are in Tokyo.
